I attended an award ceremony of my nephews skiing school once. 200 kids from 3 to 13, plus their parents and grandparents. With a
huge collection of DSLRs, albeit no Pentaxian as far as I could tell. I was sent there as my sister couldn't attend and wanted me to take a few pics of her kid. As soon as the ceremony started all them DSLRs jumped up and rushed to the stage. It was truly a mob of paparazzi, and no one else was able to see a thing anymore with all them cameras raised into the sky. I didn't bother joining the ruckus and didn't take a single photograph.
Luckily my little sis was quite understanding in how I did not want to fight them over-competitive, flesh-eating helicopter parents.
But the school learned from this and placed a bunch of tables with seating in the following years, as well as calling the kids on stage one after the other. It got way more relaxed thanks to this.
